This episode is the foundation for my upcoming series, Stand Guard at The Door of Your Heart.  Everything you do arises from your heart.   Your heart is precious to God and a threat to the enemy; therefore, you must guard it with the tools Christ has equipped us with.  Note:  The prelude is a dramatization
